This is a FTD type event for the Porsche-Corvette Challenge part so there are only two classes - Street Tire (treadwear 140+) and Race Tire. Street tire cars get 1 second subtracted from their times.

We also score this as a local CPA-PCA event. The classes can be found at http://cpa-pca.org/autocross/index.html And the corvette club scores this according to their classes.

Online registration for the event is at

What??? I go down to Columbia all the time. No tolls. From Laurel 1-95N to 1-695W to 1-83N to US322E - 110miles - 2 hours.

 

I may have to try that! Thanks for the assist!!

 

Wow! Looked at the points added for modifications - I'd definitely take a beating since there's no limit!

 

My local PCA only had one autocross in the last three years, and it was a weekend I was overseas on a business trip Sorry guys, I really don't care about losing a sleeping-in day to eat breakfast with a bunch of Porsche owners once a month.

I like that r-comps are taken into account with PCA classing, and that showing up on street tires can still be competitive. NASA Autocross classing is the same way.

Is this expected to be a 30 or 60 second autocross? 1 second street tire pax isn't bad on a 30 second course, but it might be worth trying to haul my r-comps up if it's longer. Of course, end of sept in PA, I might not be able to get heat into my Kumhos anyhow...

 

Course will be closer to 50 seconds than 30. Keep in mind that the 1 seconds handicap is to make cars more equal in the challenge. In the regular event when we award Porsche class prizes our points system pushes R tire cars a minimum of 1 class up.

 

How did Hershey fare in the floods, is the event still on?

 

You can do the same with the SCCA, just run in the PAX Street Tire class.

 

By the same token, I could run AM. Either would be fine if all I wanted was a trophy, but isn't very satisfying unless there's good competition. What I *really* want is to compete with the fastest drivers in my region for the overall pax trophy, which I can't do on street tires and a BS pax.

I HATE r-comps and all the cost, hassle and time involved; I'm running V710s this year and aside from the satisfaction of competitive times, find myself wishing I was still running street tires. STR is the level of prep I want to compete in, and I'm pissed that SCCA still won't let 986S compete in STR with all the other BS cars, or even any ST* class at all. That's more for the STR, thread, though.

I'm still tentatively planning to come to Hershey, and when I do, I'll be competing on the same tires I drove 6 hours to the event on
